News and Tips

Effluent Expo 2018Harvest is exhibiting at the Effluent Expo at Mystery Creek in Hamilton Nov 27-28. We are located at site #52 so please drop by and talk to us about our effluent failsafe and on-farm monitoring options.

Aeris Weather Forecast
We are now using Aeris as our localised weather forecast provider. Along with the original 10 day forecast we have also added the ability to view hourly forecasts.Contact us if you are interested in this add-on.See an example here.

Dramatic Graph Speed Increase
We have introduced a new database on our cloud server, so zooming out to week view or longer is now much faster. Try the new “30 day” view, which is often more useful than month view.

Harvest Tip #6
With the right sensors, your Harvest weather station can calculate and display the risk of Botrytis cinerea and powdery mildew.
The Bacchus model for calculating Botrytis risk was developed in NZ by Dr Balasubramaniam (Bala).
